Current Summary for SE MI

  • The current median across all model simulations for Southeast Michigan gives a forecast of:
    • April 6, 2020 (1 week): roughly 10120 cumulative laboratory-confirmed cases
    • April 20, 2020 (3 weeks): roughly 35700 cumulative laboratory-confirmed cases
  • The current median across model simulations projects:
    • April 6, 2020 (1 week): roughly 1000 hospitalized patients (beds needed) with roughly 190 in ICU
    • April 20, 2020 (3 weeks): roughly 3100 hospitalized patients (beds needed) with roughly 610 in ICU

Note that the model is a work in progress and being updated as the epidemic progresses. Because we are still making improvements and including new data in the model, these results are highly preliminary and uncertain. The forecasts shown here also do not account for the ongoing changes in social distancing.
